CornerPixel of Design

Design is an important piece of creating that perfect web site. 

Design can cover a few different things however.

The Graphics  - the general look of the website. 
(this is what matters to most people first because it is the most noticable part of the design)

The Layout   - how the parts of the website fit together
(this is not something most people concentrate on because it's not something most people really know is happening under the "graphics" part of your website)
The layout can effect many aspects of your site which are very important.

  • how well or fast the site loads
  • how well your site looks across multiple browser platforms
  • how well your site is accessed by the impaired.  (for example a blind user viewing your site with a screen reader)
  • how search engines read your site as they crawl your website to determine your standing on their search engine.  (for example, Google, Yahoo, or Bing)

Here at CornerPixel we focus on both areas of Design.  We find that both areas have their importance and neither of them should be ignored.
